WATCH: Sea of people fall as barrier collapses at Wiz and Snoop concert
Getting to the front row at a concert obviously has some major perks but as some dedicated Snoop Dogg fans learned over the weekend, it can also be pretty damn dangerous.
42 concertgoers were injured on Friday night at a joint Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa concert in New Jersey when the barrier blocking the crowd from the stage collapsed unexpectedly.
According to the Digital Spy, one person suffered serious upper-body injuries as a result of the fall, but is now in a stable condition in hospital. Others received treatment for broken bones.

Yahoo! Music has reported that the collapse happened as the rappers were gesturing fans to move towards the stage.
Videos from the night which have since appeared online show a sea of people fall forward onto the concrete in front of the stage. The performers were then quickly escorted away by security.
Both Snoop and Wiz have since wished fans a speedy recovery on Twitter. Snoop Dogg wrote: “Prayers out to my fans. Wishn u all a quick recovery. Love” (sic). While Wiz Khalifa said: “Hope everyone from last night is alright. That sh*t was crazy.”
